Dug this up today - can anyone tell me what car it was from ?

It looks like a car bonnet mascot to me  :).

Tricia

It looks like the angel from a rolls royce but then again I'm no expert. It could be off a roman chariot like manic said. She usually has an eye for a bargain so if she offers you a couple of quid, its probably worth more lol

whatever it is i expect its worth more than what i found when digging my garden yesterday an empty tube of strong glue and a broken down seed module tray - nothing for the antiques roadshow  ;D

The old man reckons a silver lady like you do Shirtlon.

our reputation proceeds us..if we'd found it, it would've been polished up and on ebay by now

think you're right, tricia and shirlton, deffo a rolls lady  ;D

It looks very similar to the Silver Ghost car mascot, as she stood on legs. I believe it changed over the years though so they were perhaps different. I am only familiar with the very early one  and it is  bit different to that. XX Jeannine

What yer done with the rest of the car mate?

ye, keep digging  ;D

Dunno but it's really lovely!

Keef ... is that a picture of you on your profile? STUNNING  ;D

Nah, the f*g gives it away as i dont smoke (well unless im in the pub, and had more than 6 pints and the OH aint looking) - which reminds how long do we have left before its illeagle to slowly kill our selves with a nice pint in a nice cosy pub by a rauring (but possibly smoky) log fire ?  ;D

edit : opps, it seems like fag is a rude word.

< how long do we have left before its illeagle to slowly kill our selves with a nice pint in a nice cosy pub by a rauring (but possibly smoky) log fire ?>

June apparently!

So who IS the bloke on your profile pic then? He looks just my type  ;D  ;D  ;D

Eh! If this is a competition I'm in it.

KENKEW! You've got something unsavoury stuck to your shoe  ;D

I'm not sure if it is a 'Spirit of Ecstasy' or 'Nelly in her nightie' off a rolls. She was usually leaning forward with her arms flung out behind her. Although as Jeannine says there could have been different ones. She looks very 30's doesn't she?

O.k, love things like this and got bitten by this. Keef, look at this site, I know it isn't one of these but how similar in design?

What is it made of? I would probably die of excitement if I found something like that. All I've found so far are lots of special brew tins!
